This summer, students from different disciplines gathered over Zoom to learn and work together on six digital humanities projects that are being supported by the Price Lab and Penn Libraries.

The collaboration and camaraderie of working on Unstable Archives this summer felt like monsoons after a drought. As anticipated, I acquired or deepened all sorts of skills and helped produce a deliverable of which I’m proud.

RDDS is excited to share a new GitHub repository of Collections as Data notebooks at Penn Libraries! These notebooks contain tutorials and examples designed to facilitate engagement with library collections data available in Colenda, while learning about Python as a tool for data manipulation. Learn more from Emily Esten on the inspiration and development of these notebooks.
